The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200608-24 (AlsaPlayer: Multiple buffer overflows)

AlsaPlayer contains three buffer overflows: in the function that     handles the HTTP connections, the GTK interface, and the CDDB querying     mechanism.

Impact :

An attacker could exploit the first vulnerability by enticing a user to     load a malicious URL resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with     the permissions of the user running AlsaPlayer.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
